I'm Behalf Of Tree-SprayinS.
o the Editor of the EVENING STAR:

As you have ever been ready to champion the
cause Of tree protection in our city, venture to
offer the following suggestions on the subject of
spraying trees with London purple. The only
argument Of any force against the plan proposed
by Prot. Riley is its supposed danger, while its
cheapness, efficiency and neatness are beyond dis
pute. II, therefore, the following facts prove as
conclusive 10 other minds as to my own. we may
regard the spray as boon to the city. All medical
works place the minimum fatal dose Of arsepiOuS
acid at about grains Tardien places It at 1.54
grains to 2.31 grains, and names 154 grain as the
smallest amount capable under any circumstances
OF causing any serious symptoms; these figures
applying 10 invalids, weak children, &C. London
purple contains 40 percent OF arseniouS acid the
solutionused is pound TO 100 gallons 800 pounds)
OF water, and, as this makes the proportions

Will be seen that nearly an ounce of the solution
must be ingested 10 cause serious symptoms,
while the smallest amount that could cause fatal
poisoning Is twO-thirds Of pint. teaspOonrul
daily would act as tonic. and prophylatic
against malaria. Now, considering the fact
that the leaves are simply moistened by = fine
spray, that there Is no drip from the trees, and
that they would dry In snort time, leaving the
poison closely adhering to the leaves Is IL not i'm
possible that any child could catch, In his mouth
even, the quantity required for the production OF
serious symptoms? A careful estimate shows that
he would have 10 lick or chew 5000 OF the leaves
IN order TO get Ia gr, where the 81 grains con-
tanned In gallon OF the solution has been distr1b-
uted over the million leaves OF large tree; and 1t
Is selfevfdent that the drip from the tree after
rain, would be so much more dilute than the orig
1nal solution that doubt II any stomach could
hold enough 10 cause trouble even if the mouth
were OF sufficient area TO catch rain-dropS by the
barrel full IL may be doubted by some whether
such weak solution In such small quantity would
prove efficient; but fortunately, this question mas
been settled by practical tests. As 10 the sparrow
should the spray be used-Inay the Lord in His
mercy have made him extremely susceptible 70

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
read with much surprise the plan Of sewerage
devised for Mount Pleasant by the military engi-
neer, as published in THE STAR Of the 18TH and
especially the statement that was designed "w1th
the view OF following the natural drainage so far
as possible" Now, as everybody knows Mount
Pleasant Is upon the hill bordering ON the Rock
Creek Valley, and the natural drainage would
seem 10 be down that valley; but instead of TAX
Ing the sewerage that way, this plan proposes to
carry IL eastward 10 Sth street and connect with
the Boundary sewer, which empties into the East
ern Branch a short distance below the BenniDg's
Bridge road, distance OF two or three miles from
where the sewagei Is created. The result OF course
will be, that the sewage from Mount Pleasant and
all that region will be dumped out on the fats at
the west side or the Eastern Branch at sherwood.
and from there all the way down TO GiesbOro Point
will be spread out over the fiats so that In few
years the fats there will be great a nuisance as
were the natS above and around the Long Bridge
and which necessitated the expenditure OF the
vast sums now being used 70 reclaim them.
Another remarkable feature Of this plan Is that
/. Will necessitate the use or pump with a large
annual, as will as original, expenditure TO run
Il and keep 1t In order. The idea OF using a
pump for the sewerage OF place on the top OF
hill $50 feet high, with natural-drainage valleys
Is one that could never have occurred to the
mind OF ybody but military engineer.
The point 10 which most strenuously object Is
making the nats OF the Eastern Branch the Dump
Ing ground for all the sewerage or the entire
northwestern portion OF the District outside Of
Boundary street EAST WASHINGTON.
